The Cobra Venom V8 is the new British sports car invention with the simple formula: small British roadster and American V8 drive train. Early Cobras sought balance by utilizing Ford’s modest 260 cubic-inch small block V8, but everything went out of control when a hairy-chested 427 cubic inch FE big block was installed.
